The fall festival is all about welcoming in the new season. What better way than with pie? Contestants will line up to see who can eat their pie the fastest – without hands or silverware. We call this a contest, but honestly, when pie is involved, nobody loses. Contestants may sign up at the event on Saturday. Entry is free. Registration will begin at 11 am, look for the booth with the orange balloon. There will be four categories, with 6 participates in each category, so make sure you sign up early.

Get those creative juices flowing and enter our scarecrow contest! Make a scarecrow to show off your creativity and personality! Use your imagination to select a theme for your scarecrow. Whether you choose a traditional, contemporary or humorous approach, is up to you. Your scarecrow can be whimsical, frightening or funny.
